You're trying to find between 2 and 5 other talented, driven, people who are most probably
- Interested in making music in the same (or damn close to the same) niche genre you're into
- Have relatively stable schedules that more or less align
- Aren't already ensconced in a band that they're very happy with or feel a very strong loyalty to.
- Are geographically within a reasonable driving distance
- Are ideally all within 10 years of your own age
- Aren't either egomaniacs or complete flakes (saddly both are common afflictions of highly talented musicians)
You can compromise a tad on some of those points, but generally that's the reality. When you consider all that, it's somewhat of a miracle that any new progressive metal bands appear.
